ONLY distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis filtered water. Hard water quickly causes brown edges and weakens the plant.

No, Calathea roseopicta 'Dottie' is not toxic to cats, dogs or children. Safe for homes with pets.

Alisa,
Recomand cu incredere. Am achizitionat planta in Iunie 2025. A venit fara probleme si, dupa o perioada scurta de acomodare, am mutat-o intr-un ghiveci mai mare. Desi initial a fost mica, s-a dezvoltat foarte mult si foarte frumos de atunci.
In prima poza apare planta dupa ce am primit-o, in ghiveciul mic de 6 cm, iar in a doua este aceeasi planta astazi.
